Most clients experience mild redness and sensitivity for 2–24 hours after waxing. This is completely normal — your skin just had hair removed from the root, and it needs a little time to settle.

If you have finer or more sensitive skin, redness may linger up to 48 hours. Avoid anything that adds heat or friction during that window.

For the first 24–48 hours: no hot showers or baths, no saunas or steam rooms, no sun exposure or tanning beds, no tight clothing over waxed areas, no gym workouts that cause heavy sweating, and no swimming in pools or the ocean.

Heat and sweat open the follicle and can introduce bacteria — keeping things cool and clean is the single most important thing you can do.

Wait at least 48–72 hours before exfoliating. After that, gentle exfoliation 2–3 times per week is your best defense against ingrown hairs.

Use a soft washcloth or a gentle scrub — nothing abrasive. The goal is to keep the follicle clear so new hair grows straight up rather than curling back under the skin.

Exfoliate regularly starting 3 days after your wax. Keep the skin moisturized — dry skin is more prone to ingrowns because the surface layer becomes a barrier the hair has to push through.

Wear breathable fabrics over freshly waxed areas, especially for Brazilian and bikini waxing. Tight synthetic fabrics trap heat and friction right where you don't want it.

Use a fragrance-free, alcohol-free lotion or oil — something gentle and non-comedogenic. Aloe vera gel is excellent for the first 24 hours if you're experiencing redness.

Avoid anything with heavy fragrance, retinol, AHAs, or BHAs on freshly waxed skin. Save those for after the 48-hour mark.

Yes, and it's actually a good sign. Redness after a facial means circulation was stimulated and your skin is responding. It typically fades within a few hours, sometimes up to 24 hours for more active treatments.

If you had extractions, those specific spots may stay pink a bit longer — that's normal too.

For 24 hours: no direct sun exposure, no heavy makeup (let your skin breathe), no hot showers or steam, no active skincare ingredients like retinol or exfoliating acids, and no picking at your skin — especially if you had extractions.

Your skin is in a receptive, slightly vulnerable state right after a facial. Treat it gently and it will reward you.

We recommend waiting at least 4–6 hours, and ideally until the next morning. Your pores are freshly cleared and your skin has just absorbed a round of nourishing products — giving it time to breathe lets all of that work.

If you must wear makeup the same day, opt for mineral-based products and keep it minimal.

Purging is when a facial brings congestion to the surface that was already forming beneath the skin. It can look like small breakouts in the days following your appointment, and it's a sign the treatment did its job.

True purging resolves within 1–2 weeks. If breakouts persist beyond that, reach out — it may be a reaction rather than purging, and we'll adjust your treatment plan.

Expect redness and a warm, sunburned feeling for 12–48 hours. Your skin may also feel tight and slightly rough as it begins to heal. This is all completely normal and part of the process.

The redness typically peaks in the first few hours and gradually fades. Most clients look and feel back to normal within 24–48 hours.

Keep it simple and gentle for the first 72 hours. Cleanse with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and lukewarm water. Apply a gentle moisturizer or hyaluronic acid serum to keep the skin hydrated.

Avoid all active ingredients — retinol, vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs — for at least 5–7 days. Your skin's barrier is in repair mode and actives will cause irritation rather than results.

Wait a minimum of 24 hours, and ideally 48 hours. When you do return to makeup, use clean brushes and mineral-based products.

Avoid anything with heavy fragrance or alcohol in the formula — your skin is more permeable than usual and will absorb ingredients more deeply.

The collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling build over time. Most clients notice an improvement in texture and tone within 2–4 weeks as new collagen forms.

Optimal results typically appear after a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Patience is part of the protocol.

It depends on the depth of the peel. Lighter peels may cause subtle flaking that's barely noticeable. Medium peels typically produce visible peeling starting around day 3–5, lasting a few days.

Either way, the peeling is your skin shedding its outermost layer to reveal fresher skin beneath. Let it happen on its own timeline — don't rush it.

No — and this is the most important rule. Picking or pulling peeling skin before it's ready can cause scarring, hyperpigmentation, and uneven healing.

Let the skin shed naturally. If a piece is hanging and bothering you, trim it gently with clean scissors — never pull.

Stick to a gentle cleanser, a fragrance-free moisturizer, and SPF. That's it. No actives, no exfoliants, no retinol, no vitamin C.

Hydration is your priority. Keeping the skin moisturized helps the peeling process feel more comfortable and supports healthy healing.

Non-negotiable. Freshly peeled skin is significantly more vulnerable to UV damage, and sun exposure after a peel can cause hyperpigmentation that undoes the results you came for.

Wear SPF 30 or higher every single day — even on cloudy days, even if you're mostly indoors. Reapply every 2 hours if you're outside.

Keep your lashes completely dry for 24 hours. No water, no steam, no sweating. The lifting solution needs time to fully set — moisture during this window can relax the curl before it's locked in.

Also avoid rubbing your eyes, sleeping face-down, and using any oil-based products near your lashes.

After the 24-hour window, treat your lashes gently. Use a clean spoolie to brush them into shape each morning. Avoid waterproof mascara — it requires rubbing to remove, which stresses the lift.

A nourishing lash serum or castor oil applied at night will keep your lashes healthy and conditioned between appointments.

A lash lift typically lasts 6–8 weeks, which aligns with your natural lash growth cycle. As your lashes grow out, the lift gradually relaxes.

To maintain the look, most clients book a refresh every 6–8 weeks. Avoid perming or lifting too frequently — your lashes need recovery time between treatments.
